EA Summit Hong Kong 2026: Doing Good with Maximal Impact
Join us to explore how we can use evidence and reason to do the most good.
EA Summit Hong Kong is a one-day gathering for individuals who want to think seriously about how they can use their careers and resources to solve the world’s most pressing problems.
Whether you are new to these ideas or already working on complex challenges—such as global health, animal welfare, or AI safety—this summit is designed to help you find the best opportunities to contribute. We are bringing together people from a wide range of fields to foster meaningful conversations, share promising ideas, and support one another in taking thoughtful, high-impact action.
